Churches challenge IRS, claiming they should have the right to preach politics from the pulpit.

I agree with the churches. But I also think that *if they do,* they should be taxed. I wonder if they think they can have their cake and eat it too?

I agree....let'm pay taxes & & pontificate politically just like the rest of us.

They can, but they should be paying taxes if they do.

I agree with you. I'm on the board of two non-profits, and even though we have had candidates who want to be endorsed by us, we simply can't. And that is how it should be.

If the pastor feels that strongly about it though, he should be willing to drop his non-profit status. And I do hope that if they go through with it, they do loose their tax exempt status.

Everyone's already spoken the same way I feel. Preach politics all you want, just remember to pay those taxes.

I for one would love to know who Jesus would vote for and which candidates have divine providence behind them. Which candidate is God's candidate? The believers need to know.

Ah religion, freeing simple folks from independent thought and personal responsibility since the dawn of time...

By the time I left Christianity, I seen Jesus as the radical liberal, and the Pharisees as the conservative hypocrites. I'm convinced that, if he really did exist, and he lived today, he would probably vote liberal. Conservatives seem to go against everything he actually taught, and are more akin to Constantine, who used Christianity for political purposes, while starting arguments within the church, while never actually believing it himself.

He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named no interest in your miserable & pathetic human affairs has. To Me this job falls.
Ever since 2008 have I my Anointed One supported. From those days....some praise which upon him I showered....

No payroll has he ever met.
nor cosigned for a business debt.
The jobs he held (if they are real)
sound like he's under someone's heel.
There was no business that he ran.
We know not if he even can
take on a post executive.
Yet blindly this job you will give.
Mind you now, he's still My servant.
By him I stand, with help most fervent.
Vote Obama.....often!

Churches can't complain about the deficit since they have never helped maintain it.
